Home Counties Region
The region has a committee of seven regional officers. The regional committee consists of a chair, director/vice chair, three training officers, a treasurer, and a secretary. The region aims to host four regional training days per year covering a wide range of licensing and related topics, delivered by experienced individuals from a range of professions and backgrounds. These training sessions generally alternate between in person and online platforms. The region aims to rotate the location of face-to-face meetings to ensure members from all areas can attend.
If you are a licensing practitioner or professional living or working in the HC region, you can join the Institute to become a regional member.
